LOVE IN THE WILD – Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET beginning June 1

Putting relationships to the ultimate test, LOVE IN THE WILD pairs 10 single men with 10 single women, for a romantic adventure unlike anything they could have ever imagined. Hosted by Darren McMullen (Australian MINUTE TO WIN IT), viewers meet 20 singles who have tried it all – speed-dating, blind-dating, Internet dating – and now, they head deep into the remote jungles of Costa Rica to see if they can find that special someone they’ve been looking for. Each episode pairs two of the singles for an exhilarating challenge that will push their bodies and emotions to the limit. From paddling down crocodile-ridden waters, to navigating bat-infested caves, couples must compete and unite to be the last ones standing – even if it means hanging 200 feet above one of the country’s most fearsome waterfalls. Love is an adventure, after all, and LOVE IN THE WILD puts relationships to the ultimate test.

EXPEDITION IMPOSSIBLE – Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET beginning June 21

Adventurer, zoologist and all-around risk taker, Sarnia, Ontario native Dave Salmoni (WORLD’S DEADLIEST TOWNS) hosts Mark Burnett’s newest reality series. Shot in the Kingdom of Morocco and featuring high adventure and human drama reminiscent of Burnett’s ECO-CHALLENGE, EXPEDITION IMPOSSIBLE showcases 13 teams of three, racing on an expedition across vast deserts, over snow capped mountains and through raging rivers. As a new stage of the expedition is revealed to the teams each week, will they crumble under the pressure of having to think clearly in the wilds of the great outdoors, or will they find a way to work together to complete their adventures? After 10 stunning and challenging legs of competition, one team will cross the finish line first to claim victory.

THE BORGIAS – Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET beginning June 21

After burning up the screen on Bravo! this spring, THE BORGIAS, which was called an “absolutely captivating drama” by The Globe and Mail, makes its world broadcast premiere on CTV. From Academy Award®-winner Neil Jordan (The Crying Game), this international co-production (Canada/Hungary/Ireland) is the compelling and unflinching saga of one of the most remarkable and notorious families in history. Set in 15th century Italy at the height of the Renaissance and based on real characters and events, THE BORGIAS chronicles the corrupt rise and ruthless consolidation of power by patriarch Rodrigo Borgia (Academy Award®-winner Jeremy Irons, Kingdom of Heaven, Being Julia), who stops at nothing to control the papal throne and feed his insatiable ambition for influence and wealth for himself and his family. Starring alongside Irons are Canadians Colm Feore (FLASHPOINT, 24) as his arch nemesis, Cardinal Della Rovere, and breakout star François Arnaud (J’ai tué ma mère) as Rodrigo’s ruthless son Cesare.

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN – Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET beginning July 28

The new heart-stopping competition series, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, pits everyday people against seasoned professionals as they play cat and mouse in their attempt to steal away the big $100,000 prize. From executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the series combines all the elements of an edge-of-your-seat spy thriller with the excitement of rooting for real people in different locales trying to outwit their professional counterparts. The six-episode unscripted series will take reality television to a whole new level of exhilaration.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT returns for its final farewell with eight all-new episodes. Shot entirely in and around New York City, the third installment of the LAW & ORDER franchise takes viewers deep into the minds of its criminals while following the intense psychological approaches by the Major Case Squad. The final season features the long-anticipated return of Detectives Goren (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) plus the addition of Emmy® Award-winning actress Julia Ormond (Temple Grandin) who will portray Dr. Paula Severin, a brilliant psychologist charged with conducting mandatory sessions with Detective Goren to unravel his tortured past. A tribute to its passionate fans, the show will take viewers to new heights with intrigue and crime-solving as never before.

* Moves to regular Sundays at 8:30 p.m. ET timeslot beginning June 19

In Season 2 of HICCUPS, Nancy Robertson returns as the hot-headed children’s author Millie Upton, who continues to give her “life coach” Stan Dirko (Brent Butt) a run for his (lack of) money.

DAN FOR MAYOR – Sundays at 7:30 p.m. ET beginning June 5 – NEW SEASON

Dan Phillips (Fred Ewanuick) is now  almost on purpose  the Mayor of Wessex. He ran on a whim and was elected by default. Dan’s first term has started and he is unprepared, unqualified and in way over his head! In the second season premiere, to prove that he’s in charge, Dan takes it upon himself to name the new ice rink after a local hockey legend, only to find out it has already been named after a Wessex philanthropist on her deathbed. Meanwhile, Claire is back for good and is starting her own PR company. It’s just too bad that Dan can’t hire her to improve his own PR.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA – Mondays at 8 p.m. ET beginning June 20 and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. beginning July 5 – NEW SEASON

This summer Canada’s favourite Gemini® Award-winning dance show returns for a sizzling Season 4, heating up CTV’s sensational summer programming line-up. Gemini® Award-winning host Leah Miller is back and is joined by returning judges Jean Marc Genereux, Tré Armstrong, Luther Brown and Blake McGrath. Dance hopefuls auditioned in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver and Saint John, NB, during November and December 2010, all vying for a boarding pass to advance to the next round of competition. Over 160 dancers advanced to Finals Week in Toronto, where they will work with some of Canada’s top choreographers to earn a spot in the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA Top 20. The dancers will then work in partners and select a different dance style each week, ranging from hip-hop, broadway and dance hall, to ballroom, tango, contemporary and jazz, in the hopes gaining the public’s votes. Two competitors will be eliminated each week during the results shows.

New episodes from Season 2 of Betty White’s HOT IN CLEVELAND returns with more adventures for the dynamic trio of best friends and their house’s rather opinionated caretaker. With Valerie Bertinelli starring as Melanie, Jane Leeves as Joy, Wendie Malick as Victoria and Betty White as Elka, together, these four women create comedic magic that runs from banter to farce to physical comedy, with none of them missing a beat.

FLASHPOINT – Fridays at 9 p.m. ET beginning June 17 – NEW SEASON

* Encore episodes return Fridays at 9 p.m. ET beginning May 6

The Gemini Award®-winning series and nail-biting cop drama FLASHPOINT returns this summer following a shocking cliff-hanger finale where Ed Lane’s life hangs in the balance after a shooting and an elite military psychologist, played by renowned actor Victor Garber, is attempting to split up Team One. The series stars Enrico Colantoni, Hugh Dillon, David Paetkau, Amy Jo Johnson, Michael Cram and Sergio Di Zio.

In the second part of the season finale, one finalist is horrified to realize that Kathy Griffin has missed the start of the tournament and that Mr. Trump’s golf team is missing a player. The other scrambles to meet the challenge of feeding 450 people before the Liza Minnelli concert. Cheap tournament prizes embarrass one finalist, but Liza Minnelli’s performance wows the crowd and the evening ends on a high note. The next day, Donald Trump makes his final decision – one candidate is fired, and the other becomes The Apprentice.

In part one of the season finale, three candidates face Mr. Trump in the boardroom to plead their cases. The axe falls on one, and the two remaining competitors are tasked with their final – and toughest – challenge. One finalist will run a VIP golf tournament featuring Kathy Griffin, and the other will manage a Liza Minnelli concert and tournament dinner. Previously-fired candidates return to help, but one is called away, leaving a finalist short-handed. When a caterer drops out, a photographer ends up in the wrong state and a major printing error occurs, the finalists’ chances of becoming The Apprentice become more challenging than ever.

Teams are tasked with writing, directing, producing and starring in a live sales segment on QVC, while Mr. Trump and Isaac Mizrahi watch the broadcast from New York City. When negotiating for the Isaac Mizrahi products they will sell, one team dupes the other and wins both their preferred product and sales time-slot. Facing Mr. Trump in the boardroom, the losing team battles it out, and another candidate is fired.

The candidates are instructed to produce 30-second ads promoting mobile television. As one team casts a teammate in the ad’s lead role, the other squad goes the extra mile by planning to shoot two commercials.

Donald Trump tasks the teams with creating an in-store display for Perfumania, featuring a fragrance by Kim Kardashian. A female contestant feels pressured by male teammates to bring a feminine touch to the team’s design. On the other team, a candidate worries that their display is becoming “bedazzled.” Then, Kim Kardashian makes a surprise visit to help judge the displays.

Teams must create a four-page fashion advertorial featuring suits, shirts and cufflinks from the Donald J. Trump signature line. On one team, the project manager becomes obsessed with one of the models; while the other project manager strips down to pose in a racy bedroom scene.

Each team is assigned an up-and-coming musical and tasked with producing a backer’s audition for potential investors. Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth helps judge each presentation before Mr. Trump sends another candidate packing.

The candidates try to display their pedal mettle when Donald Trump asks them to design, sell and operate pedicab tours. Later, tension erupts in the boardroom when one candidate begs Trump to fire a colleague.
